Recipe Tips

Getting perfectly baked cookie bars:

Make sure your oven is preheated to 350 degrees before you put your bars in to avoid underbaking. When you remove them from the oven you’ll be able to tell that they are done if they have a slightly dull surface that when you lightly touch it a slight imprint remains. The edges of the crust should also begin to harden and slightly pull away from the surface of the baking dish. If your bars are undercooked, return them to bake in the oven immediately and check them for doneness at 5 minute intervals.

Storage Tips

To STORE, just cover tightly with foil or saran wrap and store on the counter for up to 3 days.

To reheat, just place in microwave for a few minutes to make them gooey and warm. Once cooked and cooled, you can FREEZE these cookie bars by placing a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and freezing for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and reheat in the microwave.
